Re: If you're bored at work...

Level 15: It took a while, but you can get the 'ball' to swing into the box. I made a long contraption with one wheel pulling right and one pulling left. The left wheel which will anchor it was started high off the ground, which allowed the right wheel to get a head start and provide the needed momentum for the ball. The left wheel then connects to the ground, anchoring the contraption and allowing the ball to swing like a pendulum.
